Stoppie Question

Ok, this one may get me nominated for some sort of batty.... but here goes

Any of you front brake runners capable of doing a stoppie (a front wheel skid, with the back wheel elevated)? I thought that I came ridiculously close in a hairy spot today, on some wet pavement, but i rocked back down and skidded the back wheel. I really think trying it would just be begging for an endo, but maybe with a disc brake?

Now that i think about it, there's no way you could do it with a dual pivot brake, it would have to be disc. Wouldn't it?
